Note: If your labels do not print correctly on your label ie; too high or to the bottom or left of label but are perfect when you preview, you will have to Calibrate your printer.

Reason why you may need to do this?
You may print more than one size label from your label printer and it remembers those settings.

To calibrate see your instruction manual or follow these instructions:

CALIBRATE PRINTER TO ITS MEDIA

To calibrate the printer to its media...

• With the printer turned off, load the printable stock and ribbon (if ribbon is to be used)
• Press and hold down the 'Feed / Pause' button
• While still holding down the 'Feed / Pause' button, turn on the printer.
  The Status LED will blink 'green' for 2 seconds, 'red' for 2 seconds, and then will blink 'green' again.
• Select the Media Type...
• For　Gap　or　Black Mark　Stock, release the 'Feed / Pause' button when the Status LED is flickering 'green'
• For　Continuous　Stock, release the 'Feed / Pause' button when the Status LED is flickering 'red'

The printer will now feed labels and calibrate the label length.

• Once the calibration is complete, the printer will output a full Test Label set: the Configuration Settings labels, and the Pitch test label.
  After the Test Label sets finish printing, the printer will print out a line saying that it is in Data Dump Mode.
• Power cycle the printer:
• Turn the printer off
• Wait 30 seconds
• Turn the printer back on
• Let the printer start up normally

The printer is now physically ready to work.
